Youthworker 2.0

Series of 3 Training Courses for leaders of volunteer projects and trainers focused on working with groups of participants. This project has already finished – you can read the summarised final report in English or Czech.

The project “Youthworker 2.0” aimed at supporting youth leaders, workcamp leaders and trainers to improve their work with youth, assuring and developing quality of their activities. Three Training Courses focused on raising competences of these target groups and support sharing of experience. Each Training course was designed for 24 participants from 6 European organisations (INEX-SDA – Czech Republic, ELIX – Greece, Egyesek – Hungary, Legambiente – Italy, XCHANGE – Scotland, Young Researchers of Serbia – Serbia).

The youth workers will improve their ability to independently and reliably work with groups of participants/youth, while reflecting their special needs

First Training Course will be focused on working with complicated situations in a group

Second one will focus on the topic of inclusion of participants with special needs or fewer opportunities

Third Training will support participants in development of tools and methodologies in order to promote anti-discrimination approaches.

They reflect, what makes their activities of a high-quality and will understand what does the “quality” actually mean

They will be able to apply methods and tools to keep motivation and energy

They will have space to enhance their international cooperation, create new partnerships and project ideas
